The whir of construction noise in Mission Bay is about to give way to the crunch of guitar riffs.

On Monday, March 18, the Golden State Warriors will kick off Reveal Week to announce the first eight acts and concerts slated to take place at the Chase Center, the new arena that will serve as home to the NBA team in the fall.

Warriors owner Joe Lacob and President and Chief Operating Officer Rick Welts plan to host a joint news conference at the site of the 18,064-seat venue at 11 a.m. Monday, where they will be joined by as-yet-unnamed performers from the inaugural show.

The remaining lineup announcements will be delivered at various times throughout the week — 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 19, 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 20, and 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. Thursday, March 21 — via chasecenter.com, with the final reveal at another news conference with Welts and the headliner at 4 p.m. Friday, March 22.

Both news conferences will be streamed live online on the venue website and NBC Sports Bay Area.

“We have locked down a great initial group of announcements of top-tier performers to open the first couple months of Chase Center that will cater to a variety of audiences,” Welts said in a statement. “The Reveal Week lineup is just the beginning of the must-see acts we’ll look to open Chase Center as we will continue to add a variety and diversity of events to our calendar for the remainder of 2019 and into 2020.”

Last week, the Warriors also announced that the arena and grounds will feature artwork by 33 Bay Area artists, including Nina Fabunmi, Shomari Smith, Michael Zagaris, Milton Bowens and Precita Eyes.
